ISUZU 3000L Water Foam Fire Truck

ISUZU 3000L Water Foam Fire Truck

The ISUZU 3000L Water Foam Fire Truck is a compact dual-agent firefighting vehicle designed for rapid emergency response in urban areas, industrial facilities, warehouses, workshops, residential communities, commercial properties, and other locations where both water and foam suppression capabilities are required. Built on a reliable ISUZU 4×2 left-hand-drive chassis, the vehicle combines a double-row crew cab, a 3,000-liter water tank, a 1,000-liter foam tank, a dedicated fire pump, and a roof-mounted fire monitor into one practical firefighting platform, giving the crew the ability to arrive at an incident with both firefighting agents and essential equipment ready for immediate operation.

With overall dimensions of approximately 6,850 × 2,500 × 2,840 mm and a 3,815 mm wheelbase, the truck maintains a relatively compact footprint while providing enough space for a five-person firefighting crew and a substantial firefighting body. The 6,800 kg gross vehicle weight and approximately 4,375 kg tare weight leave a practical capacity for the water, foam, firefighting equipment, and crew, while the 90 km/h maximum driving speed allows the vehicle to respond efficiently between the fire station and emergency locations. Its 4×2 configuration is particularly suitable for paved roads, urban streets, industrial compounds, and other environments where maneuverability and straightforward road operation are important.

The vehicle is powered by an ISUZU 4KH1CN5HS diesel engine producing approximately 130 HP and complying with Euro 5 emission requirements. The 6-cylinder, four-stroke direct-injection engine features water cooling, turbocharging, and intercooling, and is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission with 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. Together with the 7.00R16 tires, the powertrain provides a practical balance between road performance, fuel efficiency, load-carrying ability, and ease of maintenance for regular firefighting service.

The firefighting body carries 3,000 liters of water and 1,000 liters of foam, creating a total liquid-agent capacity of 4,000 liters. The separate water and foam tanks allow the crew to select the appropriate extinguishing medium according to the type and development of the fire. For operations requiring additional water supply or municipal support, the vehicle can also be deployed alongside a dedicated water tanker truck, extending the available water supply during prolonged firefighting operations.

Features

ISUZU 4×2 Chassis and Crew Cab

The ISUZU chassis provides a dependable foundation for the firefighting superstructure, with a 3,815 mm wheelbase and overall dimensions of 6,850 × 2,500 × 2,840 mm that make the vehicle suitable for both urban response and industrial-site operations. The left-hand-drive configuration is designed for markets using right-side traffic, while the air-conditioned double-row cab provides seating for 2+3 crew members, allowing the complete response team to travel together rather than requiring separate transportation.

The vehicle uses a 2,000 kg front axle and 4,800 kg rear axle, while the 7.00R16 tire configuration includes six working tires and one spare tire. With a maximum driving speed of 90 km/h, the truck can move quickly between response locations while retaining the compact dimensions required for access through city streets, factory compounds, warehouses, and residential areas.

130 HP ISUZU Diesel Engine

The ISUZU 4KH1CN5HS engine uses a four-stroke direct-injection diesel design with water cooling, turbocharging, and intercooling, producing approximately 130 HP. The engine is configured to meet Euro 5 emission requirements and is matched with a 6-speed manual gearbox, giving the driver a useful range of gears for both normal road travel and controlled low-speed maneuvering around a fire scene.

The powertrain is designed with the practical operating requirements of a compact fire truck in mind, providing enough power to move the vehicle with its firefighting equipment, water, foam, and crew while maintaining a relatively straightforward mechanical configuration. The 6-forward-speed transmission also allows the driver to select an appropriate gear when approaching narrow streets, industrial yards, ramps, or other restricted areas.

3,000L Water and 1,000L Foam Tanks

The main firefighting body incorporates separate 3,000-liter water and 1,000-liter foam tanks, giving the vehicle a combined firefighting-agent capacity of 4,000 liters. The dual-tank arrangement is useful because water can be used for general fire suppression and cooling, while foam can be introduced when dealing with fires involving flammable liquids, fuels, oils, and other materials where a foam blanket can provide an important suppression function.

The tank system is integrated with the firefighting pump and pipeline arrangement so that the crew can draw the required medium from the onboard tanks and deliver it through the monitor or hose equipment. Separate tank compartments also make it possible to manage water and foam supplies independently, which is particularly useful when the vehicle is deployed to industrial facilities, fuel storage areas, workshops, warehouses, and other locations with mixed fire risks.

CB10/30 Fire Pump

The truck is equipped with a CB10/30 fire pump rated at 30 L/s at a working pressure of 1.0 MPa. The pump provides the pressurized water flow required for the fire monitor and hose-based firefighting operations, allowing the crew to convert the onboard water supply into a controlled firefighting stream after arriving at the emergency location.

A dedicated power take-off system connects the firefighting pump to the vehicle’s engine, allowing the pump to operate using the chassis powertrain without requiring a separate engine. This arrangement keeps the firefighting package relatively compact and provides a practical solution for a vehicle that needs to combine road transportation with emergency pumping duties.

PL8/24 Fire Monitor

A PL8/24 fire monitor is installed as part of the vehicle’s firefighting system, providing the crew with a concentrated discharge method for attacking flames from a greater distance than a handheld nozzle. The elevated monitor is particularly useful when approaching the immediate fire area is difficult or when a larger, continuously directed stream is required for initial suppression and cooling.

The monitor works together with the CB10/30 pump and the water and foam tanks, allowing the firefighting system to make effective use of the vehicle’s onboard liquid capacity. For applications where access height or elevated firefighting capability is also important, the truck can operate as part of a larger emergency fleet together with an aerial truck.

Integrated Firefighting Equipment

The firefighting body is equipped with a practical collection of standard emergency equipment, including the fire pump, fire monitor, PTO, sliding gates, row-type warning lights, hose reel, common firefighting tools, and rear climbing ladder. These components are arranged to help the crew access essential equipment quickly when the vehicle reaches the incident location, while the rear ladder provides convenient access to the upper body and tank-related equipment.

The vehicle also incorporates dedicated water and foam tank systems together with a dry powder tank and nitrogen system, giving the firefighting package additional suppression capability beyond the primary water supply. This multi-agent configuration makes the vehicle suitable for emergency response environments where the nature of the fire may vary and where carrying more than one extinguishing medium can improve operational flexibility.

Practical Emergency Response Capability

The combination of a compact ISUZU 4×2 chassis, 2+3 crew cab, 4,000-liter combined water and foam capacity, 30 L/s fire pump, and PL8/24 fire monitor gives this vehicle a balanced configuration for first-response firefighting duties. It can be used by municipal fire departments, industrial fire brigades, factories, warehouses, logistics centers, construction sites, commercial facilities, and other organizations that require a dedicated vehicle capable of carrying both firefighters and firefighting agents.

For operations that require additional specialized support, the vehicle can also work alongside a sweeper truck for post-incident road cleaning or alongside other emergency-service vehicles, allowing different vehicles to perform their respective tasks while maintaining a coordinated response system. Its compact dimensions, double-row crew capacity, dual-agent tank arrangement, and integrated firefighting equipment make the ISUZU 3000L Water Foam Fire Truck a practical solution for rapid response and initial fire suppression across a wide range of professional applications.
